Cell-free systems, which can express an easily detectable protein with a DNA or mRNA template without constraints of living ...

About 4 billion years ago, Earth began to show signs of the conditions that allowed the first cells to take hold and populate ...

What if you could take a picture of every gene inside a living organism—not with light, but with DNA itself? Scientists at ...

We created novel artificial cells by encapsulating a riboswitch-gene fusion with wheat germ extract in liposomes. These non-living cells promoted the expression of a glowing protein encoded in the ...

Textbooks usually depict the epithelial cells encasing the interior and exterior of your body as passive barriers. But ...

A growing body of work suggests that cell metabolism — the chemical reactions that provide energy and building materials — ...

The molecules may be remnants of fatty acids, which form cell membranes in Earth’s organisms, though they might have formed ...

The cells that make up the walls of the finest of all lymphatic vessels have a lobate, oak leaf-like shape that makes them ...

The study also adds to growing research that links oxidative stress—when harmful molecules like nitric oxide build up in the ...

Supercritical water, a mysterious state where water behaves like both a liquid and gas, has long puzzled scientists.
